Corn bags are a safe, simple alternative to electric heating pads and traditional ice packs-- just microwave for a heating pad or freeze for a cold pack. They softly conform to the shape of your body (unlike cumbersome plastic heating pads and stiff ice packs) and will last for years!

Fleece is plush and fuzzy. It diffuses the temperature and insulates the corn bag, keeping it warmer (or cooler) for longer than flannel. Fleece is 100% polyester.

Flannel is thin and smooth. It makes the temperature feel more intense, making it a better choice for use as a cold pack or if you want one really hot. Flannel is 100% cotton.

A popular option is to have one of each type, to find what best suites your needs. Some people store one corn bag in the freezer and keep another out for heating.

Won't the corn pop?

Nope! Corn bags are made from field corn-- the same dried kernels you might feed wildlife. This type of corn is different from popping corn. Popping corn kernels don't "crack" naturally, which allows the moisture inside to heat up and explode. It's normal to hear a few soft pops in the microwave the first few times you use a corn bag.

Is the corn safe?

Yes! All corn bags are microwaved three times while I'm making them. This takes out excess moisture and kills any organisms, including spores.
